Entire condo hosted by David
Well Kept, well furnished Loved the stay will definitely come again

The Rustic Holiday/work House
Totally wonderful find! The family was really nice and the space was small but perfect for us. Super sweet dogs and very safe. The only complaint was that we wants a couple of hooks for hanging towels. But seriously, this is a gem!

Olive's Haven (Kilimani)
The host was very nice and responsive, the apartment was lovely had beautiful views, and overall, we had a wonderful stay.

Jungle Oasis 4BR | heated pool | private hot tub
The Jungle Oasis is absolutely stunning abd serene, we loved our time there and are already planning the next visit. The staff are extremely friendly and Irene the chef served us very well.

Jojos place
Joyce is a very pleasant and responsible host, we enjoyed staying at her place. The staff is well trained and ready to help any time. We found the house very clean and tidy, location is convenient and easy to find. Village Market and Two Rivers malls are a few minutes driving. We would highly recommend Joyce’s place!

Stunning homes apartment.(3 bedrooms Apartment)
Florence is an amazing host. Very easy to communicate with and very supportive throughout our stay. The apartment is really nice, big and clean. The location is also good near Yaya center and China town. The Coffee & Bagel shop also have a very nice coffee.

Pleasant townhouse with private garden
Great place! Serene location and great for families traveling with kids. I appreciated the Marion’s proactive and clear communication with instructions that made everything a breeze! Thank you for being a great host

Serene, Escape Townhouse in Kileleshwa
We had a great time in Avignon. The rental really meets all the expectations we had. Bryan is super responsive even on Sundays. Honestly, you can go there without a second thought!! ❤️❤️

A Cozy 3 bed 4 bath Modern Guesthouse in RUNDA
My husband and I had a great stay at Margaret's place. Samuel and Mercy were a tremendous help to us throughout the week, and were so attentive when we had brief struggles with the electricity. The house is simply beautiful...only house on the compound - private and peaceful. Beautiful living room and spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. Would definitely choose to stay here again on our next visit to Nairobi!

The Tukul House
Nice quiet place with beautiful surroundings and the private garden makes you to relax. the area is very safe, lot of rerestrestaurants are around, Mikhail responded quickly also the staffs are very friendly. For sure we will book again. I recommend other travellers too.

Dreamy guest wing in leafy green neighborhood
Anna’s place was just perfect. The studio is beautifully decorated and well organized. It has a separate veranda with access to a lush garden. The neighborhood is super quiet and very green. Very rare to find in Nairobi. Super close to Westland and easy access to UN headquarters. I will come back again !!

257 Place House 2
I fell in love the minute the gate was open. It was totally home away from home.I have 3 children and they really enjoyed the space.The house is beautiful,super clean,bathrooms and toilets are spacious and clean too. The host hosted us with all her love,she brought us fruits,fresh juice from her grapes 🍇 fresh boiled maize etc.When we checked in,she had milk and samosas for the children and for this,we say thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We also would like to appreciate Josphat who always went extra to make sure our car was clean,he always made sure we had chairs to sit outside and he always was on the lookout when kids were around the dogs. We also appreciate the cleaning lady who always made sure our house was clean and beds made. The house is proximity to many warehouses. I would recommend this place anytime. Looking forward to our next visit.

One Bdrm House in Langata
I had a wonderful stay. The place is more than it is described, private, clean and very spacious. The location is great, a gated house within a manned gated community, so very safe. Close to the road and shops. Very accessible via both private and public transportations. A very well thought out place that has everything you might need for a comfortable stay and if you are missing ANYTHING, just ask the host and she will come through. Grace is amazing very responsive and approachable. I was able to ask her for a lot including directions and even restaurant recommendations, she had answers. On top of all of these, the place is reasonably priced. Most comparable places are priced almost twice this place’s cost. I enjoyed my stay here and I might have just found myself a home whenever I’m in town!

Home in the woods,7 mins drive to UN.
It was a great place. The beddings were fresh and the kitchen was thoughtfully equipped

Forget your worries in this serene 5 bedroom Villa
I was hosting my bridal team here , this particular house was perfect . Whatever you see on the pictures is exactly what you find. Lucia the housekeeper was so kind and helpful.She cooked the best meals and provided the help we needed. I highly recommend this home . If you are looking for quietness and stillness away from the city ,Suezy's place is the place to be.

Coffee House
We traveled to Nairobi for 2 weeks to be close to our son's family, who live nearby. Specioza's place was as described, very secluded and private, with beautiful grounds, and all the amenities you would need for a short or long stay. Specioza and Peter (the groundskeeper) were very responsive, and flexible with our booking. However, guests should be aware that you absolutely need to have your own vehicle to access this property, and in rainy weather, you would need AWD. We typically get around via Uber, and often order grocery and restaurant deliveries, but none of these options were available to us, due to the long dirt road leading to the remote property. Fortunately, we were able to borrow an AWD vehicle from our son, which made our stay workable and pleasant. We would highly recommend this property if you like a very quiet and secluded setting, and have your own vehicle. We would definitely consider this property again for future visits.

Shee hut 2 W/Pool, Free Parking & Netflix
Lovely and peaceful

Cosy Luxury homes
Very good value for what I paid. I got this as a gift for a family that lives in Nairobi - so I wasn't actually there. It looked incredible though, and a very clean and walkable area (right next to Choptic Hospital). Bonnie was always responsive to any messages. However, the staff there was not. We requested more trash bags since day 2 (of 7 days) and were never given any, despite asking 3-4 more times. the pool also caused some skin irritation and needed to be cleaned - another request that the staff (not Bonnie) ignored. Additionally, the treadmill in the gym was not working either.

Elegant Touch Home - 2 Bedroom House in Karen
Such a lovely stay! Some details: -Great location. About 2km from the Hub in Karen, right on the Ngong road (super convenient to go anywhere). (The Ngong road is busy almost 24/7 and you do hear the road noise as the house is close to the road. Didn’t bother me much, but some people care about this more than others!) -Small, private garden/compound (maybe 0.1 or 0.2 of an acre) -Furniture arrangements are flexible. For example, Petronila removed one of the beds and provided a little kitchen island/table and mosquito nets for the beds when we requested. -Free perks included 1x/week: 10l of drinking water (beyond that was our responsibility), 1 dozen farm fresh eggs, and cleaning services. -No hot water to the house, except to the shower (washing greasy dishes in cold water was not our favourite part lol) -Very local neighborhood - on a little dirt side road with 5-6 Kenyan families as neighbors, complete with chickens, dogs, and lots of children! Our 1 year old was in heaven. :)

The Savannah View Acacia
Thank you Ted for allowing us into your very beautiful and serene space. It was very refreshing after a long travel to finally settle down and relax for a few days. The natural environment brought in a calming nature and sounds of birds singing was good music each morning. There is plenty of room for quiet moments and online work when we needed it. Well equipped kitchen. Beautiful and friendly dogs. Sam your caretaker is great! Very very helpful. We hope to stay with you next time we are in that side of Nairobi.
